Cycling.
Two long off-road corridors anchor cycling in Mississauga: the Waterfront Trail (~22 km along Lake Ontario from Marie Curtis to Joshua's Creek) and the Culham Trail (~13 km along the east bank of the Credit River from Erindale Park to Streetsville Memorial Park). Together they sit inside a citywide network of about 300 km of on- and off-road trails.
The brief.
The Waterfront Trail's Mississauga segment is mixed: paved off-road through most lakefront parks, with signed on-road sections through the Port Credit village core and a connector at the Rattray Marsh boardwalk (cycling is NOT permitted on the marsh boardwalk itself — dismount and walk through, or detour via Lakeshore Road West). The Culham Trail is crushed-stone and asphalt along the river-edge, with signed road crossings at major streets (Dundas, Burnhamthorpe, QEW); no cycling permitted on the Riverwood Conservancy garden paths — stay on the riverside trail through that property.
The two corridors connect through the city core via signed bike-friendly streets along Lakeshore Road and Mississauga Road. The Etobicoke Creek Trail at Marie Curtis Park crosses into Toronto; the Culham Trail at Streetsville Memorial Park terminates at the Brampton boundary.
